This is obviously a vanity spam account and sock, imran is editing Hasta Vii which is an autobio written by Nohaata, they've recreated Mikozi Network in draftspace and are now vandalizing similar bios and falsely tagging with afd because I've nommed the autobio.

Jezmiah's editing behaviour shouts UPE and returning user: no edits to existing articles, only creating promotional drafts and moving them straight to mainspace – they moved their first article from their user talk page to mainspace after having made exactly ten edits (over eleven months). The connection to this sock farm is in the second article they created, about the musician Fredokiss. Fredokiss has been created by several previous Nohaata socks, and was finally salted. See also Fredokiss Kalua (moved from draftspace to that name by blocked sock  after the original title was salted), Fredokiss (rapper) (created as a draft by blocked sock who also moved it to mainspace), and the deletion history of Draft:Fredokiss which has been created by several of the previous socks, including  and.

The current version of Draft:Fredokiss was also created today, a few hours before Jezmiah's version, by. It is strange that they would create two different accounts for the same draft, but it is unlikely that two new accounts would independently write spammy drafts about the same musician, who has been spamming Wikipedia before. bonadea contributions talk 21:24, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Belated comment on the CU results: thank you, :-)   I still think that the behavioural evidence is strong, in particular when it comes to Jezmiah vs the older sockpuppets. Since this SPI was opened, Jezmiah has copied a section from Phalombe's Draft:Fredokiss to Draft:Fredokiss Penjani Kalua, the version created by Jezmiah. There are also behavioural differences between Jezmiah and Phalombe which might mean that they are different people working for the same agency, or maybe different freelancers hired through different platforms. --bonadea contributions talk 11:28, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

I don’t understand this please am not related to any of the user mentioned above you can run ip check I create the article because it is missing here on Wikipedia and deserves to be here on Wikipedia like you can see the musician is well known. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phalombe (talk • contribs) 13:10, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

 * I'm convinced on Jezmiah enough to block as a sock but I'm not as sure on Phalombe which looks like it might be UPE more than it belongs to this sock farm. are you happy as is or would you like to add add evidence for Phalombe? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:39, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
